Throughout our lives confidence is something that it seems some people have and some people don't. However, this isn't the case. Confidence can be built, lost and maintained and I believe our twenties is the time we take control and really understand the depth of what it means for us. In today's episode we discuss being unapologetically you, 'faking it' until we make it, energy and believing you deserve a certain standard in all aspects of your life. Although confidence is not a final destination, I also discuss some things that have made me feel more confident in these past few months.
